Corentin Moutet already in the semi-finals in Metz

Corentin Moutet is evolving under a lucky star at the moment. After a complicated period, the Frenchman is in good shape (he teased Ben Shelton at Bercy) and is benefiting from a little help from destiny. Tuesday evening, beating Jan-Lennard Struff in the round of 16 in Metz (7-6 [2]5-7, 6-3), he offered himself a direct ticket for the semi-finals of the Moselle tournament. He took advantage of the withdrawal of Andrey Rublev who, winner of his match against Lorenzo Sonego, had announced his departure for Turin where he was to play the Masters.
